After the initial high tension setup for all introduced characters and setting, the story did not move forward at all. Kenan is walking through the city but that's it, too much description of railroad and city layouts, etc which is starting to irritate me. Too much "inside of the head" stuff about the past instead of taking the current story forward.

The book starts with a chilling atmospheric first chapter. It starts and ends with this:

"It screams downward, splitting air and sky without effort. A target expands in size, brought into focus by time and velocity. There is a moment before impact that is the last instant of things as they are. Then the visible world explodes."
